摘要: Peritoneal dialysis systems and methods apply fluid pressure to move liquid. The can emulate either a fixed head height condition or different conditions, independent of the actual differential between patient's peritoneal cavity external liquid source destination. also switch low-relative flow mode when considerations patient comfort safety predominate high-relative processing speed predominate.
